EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the exquisite artwork of John Duncan. This painting, held at the Glasgow Museums in Scotland, takes us on a journey back to ancient times. In this outdoor scene, we witness a grand procession led by an elegant female figure believed to be the legendary Queen of Sheba. The woman stands tall and confident amidst a group of people walking alongside her. As they make their way through lush surroundings, various animals such as apes, elephants, and peacocks accompany them. This religious-themed artwork draws inspiration from biblical references found in the Old Testament. It beautifully captures the opulence and splendor associated with this historical tale. Duncan's masterful use of tempera brings life to every detail within this portrait. The nudity depicted symbolizes purity and vulnerability while adding an element of mystique to the composition. Originally published in "The Studio Volume 80" in London during 1920, this print has become an iconic representation of early 20th-century artistry. Its inclusion in "The Print Collector" further solidifies its significance as a cherished piece among art enthusiasts worldwide. As you gaze upon this remarkable image, let your imagination transport you to another era where queens ruled with grace and elegance while surrounded by exotic creatures and devoted followers.
